This is the second part of the project I started last week. In my second Smash Book page, I used the "Mitten Shaker Card" and sentiment and snowflakes from "Fun with Frosty" printable file. Both provided by our sponsor The Cutting Cafe. The girl in the picture is, again, my daughter Sofi, freezing at Niagara Falls, with huge mittens to protect her hands.

I used the Mitten Shaker card from The Cutting Cafe, and Christmas Colored Banners to make the mitten background, and some snowflakes from Fun with Frosty the Snowman to pattern the mitten outline.
I chose backing papers to fit the colour theme, they were the closest I could get to it.

The mitten is tucked into a pocket on the card.....

....so that it can be taken out to hang on the tree!

Inside the card.

See the Christmas banners - I used the coloured versions.

I used the offcut from the centre of the mitten outline to decorate the inside of the mitten ornament.

Here it is hanging up, I don't have my tree up yet to show you on a tree.

Well, this is our last challenge of 2014. Time goes by so quickly.
For this Holiday Season, we want to cheer you up.
So, lets make some shaker cards using this lovely winter colors palette. Alternatively you can choose to just make a shaker card (or project), in any colors; or you can make any project you like using the color palette.

So that is three choices:
a) shaker with color palette,
b) shaker with any colors,
c) any project with the color palette,

it's up to you to decide!

Our sponsor for this challenge is THE CUTTING CAFE, who provided the team with some funny shaker card files.

PRIZES:

First place will get 3 sets from The Cutting Cafe
Second place will get 2 sets from The Cutting Cafe
Third place will get 1 set from The Cutting Cafe

Anna used the colour combo, and said " I finally decided to make a vintage card, hope that it's ok? The color combo is really awesome, I would probably never use it that way if it wouldn't be for this challenge LOL But it looks really good!"

This is a two parts project. This is the first and it is page for my Nostalgia Smash Book made with the funny Snowman Shaker Card provided by our sponsor. The sentiment and the snowflakes are from the file Fun with Frosty, also provided by The Cutting Cafe. The girl in the picture is my daughter Sofi, having fun in the snow. Next week you will see this project complete.

Any crafty project is acceptable as usual.
